Newbie looking for reassurance and friendship

[Lester1984]

Hey there

Im Red, I am 29 and have borderline personality disorder combined with chronic anxiety. Currently I am obsessed with my breathing and am aware of every breath I take. This is causing me great distress and am in a permanent, inescapable state of panic and discomfort. I am hoping to chat to some people who are also going through this so we can support each other and I would also love to hear from someone who has been through this and recovered.

I look forward to hearing from you

thanks xxxxxx

Hello Red, from a fellow newbie!

I am sure you will find many people in here that go through the same troubles. All I have to say, as a welcome, is that you should never let go of hope inside your soul. Because, as they say, from a small seed a mighty trunk will grow. :)

Hi! Hope you feel better. I am not going through the exact thing that you are but I think I understand what you are going through. I have started have knife phobia since yesterday following my mom's accidental stab in her own hand. I feel scared of everything thats around me. Everytime I hear a thud I worry. I dont like going to kitchen cuz of the fear of seeing a knife. I dont want to let my family know that I am going through this. This is the only place where I feel I can express freely. I am also looking for help.
